Maximum Ordering Clause Samples

Maximum Ordering. The Government shall not be obligated to pay the contractor any amount in excess of the maximum task order price set forth in any task order issued under this contract. The contractor shall not be obligated to continue performance or to incur costs under any task order if to do so would exceed the maximum task order price set forth in the task order unless the contractor has been notified in writing by the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) that the maximum task order price for the task order concerned has been increased in accordance with paragraph (d) of the "Payments" clause of this contract. Pursuant to paragraph (c) of the "Payments" clause, the contractor shall notify the PCO in writing if the contractor has reason to believe the hourly rate payments, travel costs and materials costs which will accrue in the performance of the task order concerned will exceed the maximum task order price set forth in the task order, or when added to all other payments and costs previously accrued, will exceed the maximum ordering price set forth in the contract. If for any other reason the contractor believes that the maximum task order price set forth in any task order should be increased, the contractor shall promptly so notify the PCO in writing. The maximum ordering price of any task order may be increased by the PCO, in his/her discretion, at any time during the period covered by this contract. If the contractor has reason to believe that the total cost to the Government for the work called for in any task order will be substantially less than the maximum order price specified therein, the contractor shall promptly so notify the PCO in writing. The PCO may, based upon such notification, decrease the ceiling price of the task order concerned. Any increase or decrease in the maximum order price of any task order shall be set forth in a modification to the task order.
